Two separate 120-volt, arc-fault types of circuit breakers were protecting the 240-volt air conditioner's circuit at a house. I know a 240-volt breaker should be installed, but what about the use of arc-fault breakers? I suspect nuisance tripping might occur.

Any opinions on paint quality of Benjamin Moore Century versus Sherwin Williams? Thanks, TwinkleToes

I walked up and down this set of porch stairs a dozen times, trying to find something wrong with the step build. Nothing; sturdy, no awkwardness, no sense of stumbling, etc. Comments?

There is a flight of stair immediately left of this oven/range. My client worried someone climbing the stairs could inadvertently touch a hot range-top, and thought a guard-rail of some sort, or a knee wall is needed at the side of the oven/range to protect from such. (There is a handrailing along the other side of the stairway.) Is protection to the side of the oven/range *required*?

Restaurant patio areas. You shoulda had the realtor light it.

If you haven't been here before, it's THE flashlight-geeks forum for such a question. (That said, I searched their forum years ago with a similar concern; read for about an hour, and left more confused than when I started.) https://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/content.php

Yup.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to identify the building from that perspective. It's part of the underbelly of a very recognizable/famous structure.

Just inspected this old building a couple weeks ago. Anybody else ever inspect it?

Should a decorative gas appliance (a pre-fabricated metal fireplace with a gas log-set) flue pipe vent/tie-into a draft-induced furnace's metal B-vent? I'm pretty sure this isn't okay as combustion fumes from the furnace could potentially draft back into the dwelling through the fireplace. Thanks.

High-rise condo heated by an in-wall, two-pipe type of fan-assisted hydronic heater. Right above the wall supply register, which is right above the heater itself, there is a small plastic box that resembles a doorbell enclosure from the 1950's. Inside this box, there is a sensor(?) thingy wired with low-voltage wiring (there are six wiring strands here, but only two of the wires are connected to the sensor thingy). The sensor is made of white plastic, and is about 1" x 2" in size. Neither the box nor the sensor are labeled. Anybody know what this is? (It isn't a doorbell, by the by.)

Weren't the Bruiser & Crusher on right after the morning anthem?
